These are just a few of the pictures, from Saturday night at the Oakville Jazz Festival. There were so many excellent musicians, with great original music. If you had pictures you would like to add please email them to OakvilleNews.Org, we would be happy to post them on site. If it is a band please indicate which one, and if you pictures of friends, family or pets please provide a caption. There were so many photographers wondering around, we should be able to create and excellent collection.
Particularly impressive was the Iain Leslie Band, whose leader (Lead Guitarist) hails from Thomas A. Blakelock High School in Oakville. Though they were playing covers, their dynamic front man had such a positive energy he kept the audience completely engaged. They helped to provide the much needed local presence at the Festival.
Lakeshore was closed for the evening, and the street food vendors were doing a hopping business especially the Butchery and Circus Chocolate with their incredible ice cream. Attendance in general was strong and grew considerably as the evening progressed. The weather was perfect, and just added to a wonderful musical experience.
